Chris and Dominik~ Melbourne Couples Portrait

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Chris and Dominik.
At first glance, it is obvious that they are happy, happy in each other’s company. Chris is Greek and Dominik is Polish and Croatian. They both love the beach.
What really made an impression on me was how much respect they had for each other and what they do. Chris is a barrister, and she wears a wig and gown to court. Dominik told me about how hard Chris has worked to get where she is. Dominik is a lawyer too, but Chris told me proudly about how he also makes documentary films.

You may have noticed, I may have gone on a bit of a tangent in my last blog post. Just a few random musings on the city I love: Melbourne. But when I met Chris and Dominik, it got me thinking. They made an impression on me.
For the people who know me, I have a roundabout way of thinking. I credit much to the city, but really it is the people I meet and the people I know who make it the place it is to me.

I feel like I meet so many people with interesting stories. As we say- everyone has a story.
I love meeting people. I love their stories. I love to listen. One of the things I love about photographing weddings is that sometimes people let me into their lives and I get the opportunity to tell their story- in pictures.

Images that reflect your unique personality

As a photographer one of the most common things people tell me before I take their photograph is either I hate photographs of myself or I don’t like having my photograph taken!

I like to think that maybe people who say this have just never found the right photographer for them…

Snez said this exact thing to me before I snapped these portraits at the end of her photo session – I hope that maybe I’ve changed her opinion…

Paper Portraits

I am a self-confessed stationery addict.  I’m not sure what it is about stationery, but I am sure it’s something you either love or don’t particularly care about.  I definitely love it.  I love to pick it up; I love using big loopy handwriting to write a letter, jot down thoughts or ideas or doodle kid-like illustrations.  When you meet people who’ve made stationary their business, I naturally think it’s a sign of good character.  Matt and Scott of Telegram are just that.  Genuinely lovely, they seem to always have me  in fits and giggles, possibly not because they are particularly “funny” but  they make you feel so relaxed and are so welcoming you can’t help but laugh and have a good time!

Telegram are importers/distributors of paper goods which they carefully hand pick from local and international designers (and even have a hand in designing some themselves).  When I photographed them recently, they were really excited about a beautiful world map they’d commissioned – project they were clearly passionate about. It is so inspiring to meet people who are passionate about what they do.

Hanging out with the Crombie Family | Melbourne Family Photographer

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

You know your job isn’t half bad when you come home from and your shoes are full of sand.  How can I not love what I do?  

I had an absolutely fantastic morning photographing the Crombie family.  Lovely little Tyler is an adorable kid with a beautiful personality, a definite reflection of his parents!

There are a few of the photos from the session, playing on the beach, flying like an aeroplane and exploring the trees looking for monkeys …

Glenn and Nic, I think the first one might be a good one for his 21st!
